Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a polyfluoroalkadiene mixture and a method for producing the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polyfluoroalkadiene mixture that is compounds having a perfluoroalkyl group containing 6 or less carbon atoms and that is used as a copolymerizable monomer in the production of fluorine-containing copolymers serving as active ingredients of, for example, water- and oil- repellents; and a method for producing the polyfluoroalkadiene mixture.
  • Acrylic acid derivatives of perfluoroalkyl alcohols are used in large amounts as monomers for synthesizing water- and oil- repellents for textile.
  • perfluoroalkyl alcohols serving as starting materials of the acrylates are widely used as, for example, surfactants (see Patent Document 1).
  • Such compounds having a perfluoroalkyl group as a structural unit are generally known to be able to improve surface modification properties, water- and oil-repellency, antifouling properties, mold-release properties, leveling properties, and other properties, when applied on the surfaces of fiber, metal, glass, rubber, resin, etc.
  • compounds having a C 8 -C 12 perfluoroalkyl group are most likely to develop the aforementioned desired performance, and therefore, C 8 telomer compounds are particularly preferably used.
  • telomer compounds having a C 8 -C 12 perfluoroalkyl group are biologically degraded in the environment and converted to compounds having relatively high bioaccumulative and environmental concentration, causing concerns for exposure during treatment processes, and release or diffusion from waste, treated substrates, etc., into the environment.
  • compounds having a perfluoroalkyl group containing 14 or more carbon atoms are very difficult to handle because of their physicochemical properties, and hence, such compounds are rarely used in practice.
  • telomer compounds having a perfluoroalkyl group containing 8 or more carbon atoms generation and incorporation of perfluorooctanoic acids with high bioaccumulation potential is unavoidable during the production of the telomer compounds.
  • telomer compounds have retreated from the production of the compounds or promoted the use of alternative compounds having a perfluoroalkyl group containing 6 or less carbon atoms.
  • compounds having a perfluoroalkyl group containing 6 or less carbon atoms cause a significant decrease in orientation on the surface of a treated substrate, and the melting point, glass transition point, etc., of the compounds are markedly lower than those of C 8 compounds. Accordingly, the compounds are highly influenced by their using environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, stress, and the organic solvent, and the desired performance cannot be sufficiently achieved. In addition, durability and other properties are affected.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a polyfluoroalkadiene mixture that is compounds having a perfluoroalkyl group in which the number of successive CF 2 groups is 5 or less, and that is effectively used as a copolymerizable monomer in the production of resinous or elastomeric fluorine-containing copolymers, which are used as active ingredients of surface-treating agents, such as water- and oil- repellents and mold-release agents; and to provide a method for producing the polyfluoroalkadiene mixture.
  • the polyfluoroalkadiene mixture is produced as a mixture fraction of products [Ia] and [Ib] by reacting a polyfluoroalkyl iodide represented by the general formula: CF 3 (CF 2 ) n+1 CH 2 (CF 2 ) m+1 (CH 2 CH 2 )I [II] wherein n is an integer of 0 to 5, and m is an integer of 0 to 6, with an organic basic compound.
  • the polyfluoroalkadiene mixture of the present invention has an unsaturated structure that is vulnerable to ozone decomposition, when released into the environment, and can be easily decomposed into compounds with low environmental concentration and low bioaccumulation potential. Moreover, the polyfluoroalkadiene mixture does not produce environmental loading substances, such as perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids, in the production process thereof.
  • Such an environmentally superior polyfluoroalkadiene mixture of the present invention can effectively be used as a copolymerizable monomer for the production of fluorine-containing copolymers that can improve performance such as surface modification properties, water- and oil-repellency, antifouling properties, mold-release properties, and leveling properties, which cannot be achieved or can be achieved only insufficiently by telomers having 6 or less carbon atoms, compared with C 8 telomers.
  • a fluorine-containing copolymer obtained by copolymerizing the polyfluoroalkadiene mixture with a fluorinated olefin monomer can be used as a fluorine-containing elastomer for peroxide crosslinking.
  • the polyfluoroalkadiene mixture of the present invention is produced as a mixture of products [Ia] and [Ib] by reacting a polyfluoroalkyl iodide represented by the general formula: CF 3 (CF 2 ) n CH 2 (CF 2 ) m+1 (CH 2 CH 2 )I [II] n: 0 to 5 m: 0 to 6 with an organic basic compound to carry out an HI-elimination reaction, while the - CF 2 CH 2 CF 2 - bond is subjected to an HF-elimination reaction.

  • an organic basic compound to carry out an HI-elimination reaction
  • the - CF 2 CH 2 CF 2 - bond is subjected
  • the mixture of compounds [Ia] and [Ib] is formed because in the HF-elimination reaction that is carried out together with the HI-elimination reaction, the elimination of the H atom of the methylene chain CH 2 and the F atom of either one of the fluoromethylene chains CF 2 linking back and forth to the H atom occurs equally in the anteroposterior position. Moreover, since the HF-elimination reactions of the produced polyfluoroalkadiene mixtures are equivalent, the proportion of the produced products [Ia] and [Ib] is approximately 1:1. Although the products [Ia] and [Ib] cannot be separately identified because they are very similar constitutional isomers, a mixture of these compounds can be directly used as a synthetic starting material for other substances because they have equivalent reactivity.
  • the polyfluoroalkyl iodide can also be obtained by the addition reaction of terminally iodized polyfluoroalkane with ethylene.
  • terminally iodized polyfluoroalkane include compounds of the following formulae: CF 3 (CF 2 )(CH 2 CF 2 )I CF 3 (CF 2 ) 2 (CH 2 CF 2 )I CF 3 (CF 2 ) 3 (CH 2 CF 2 )I CF 3 (CF 2 ) 4 (CH 2 CF 2 )I CF 3 (CF 2 )(CH 2 CF 2 )(CF 2 CF 2 )I CF 3 (CF 2 )(CH 2 CF 2 )(CF 2 CF 2 ) 2 I CF 3 (CF 2 ) 2 (CH 2 CF 2 )(CF 2 CF 2 )I CF 3 (CF 2 ) 2 (CH 2 CF 2 )(CF 2 CF 2 ) 2 I
